FINANCIAL AID

The FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)

This form is required to determine eligibility for all financial aid provided by the federal government. Most states and colleges also require the FAFSA for state and institutional aid. The FAFSA is a very valuable tool. Even parents who don’t think that their child will qualify for need-based financial aid should complete this form. You will likely qualify for assistance, and some programs require that a student prove they are not eligible for need-based aid before they will award merit-based aid.

The FAFSA form is available each year starting October 1st. Filling out the FAFSA is much like filling out a tax form. It requires information regarding your income, assets, debts, etc. for the previous year. You can file the FAFSA electronically at: www.fafsa.ed.gov
